Plasmid DNA containing the replication origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome (oriC) has been shown to be inefficient as a template for DNA synthesis in vitro when isolated from dam mutants. Here, we extend this study to hemimethylated oriC plasmids and to replication in dam-3 mutant enzyme extra

Initiation of DNA replication from the Escherichia coli origin, oriC, is dependent on an RNA polymerase-mediated transcription event. The function of this RNA synthetic event in initiation, however, remains obscure. Since control of the synthesis of this RNA could serve a key role in the overall ini
A precise genetic-physical map of the tnailv region at 82 rain on the genetic map of E. coli is obtained through deletion mapping and analysis by restriction endonuclease EcoRI of plasmids, derived from an F ~ carrying the genes between aroE and ilv. A locus, designated het, which in its diploid st
Heat shock proteins have been shown to be involved in many cellular processes in procaryotic and eucaryotic cells. Using an in vitro DNA replication assay, we show that DNA synthesis initiated at the chromosomal origin of replication of Escherichia coli (oriC) is considerably reduced in enzyme extra
An episome, F128, which carries approximately 8 x 10(4) base pairs of chromosomal DNA homologous to the lac pro region of the E. coli chromosome, has been found to integrate into the oriC region of the chromosome in a site specific reaction. While the event appears to be recA-dependent, no homology
The region of plasmid R 1 containing the replication control genes has been sequenced using the Maxam-Gilbert method. The nucleotide sequence of two small PstI restriction fragments (a total of about 1,000 base pairs) was determined for the wild-type R 1 plasmid as well as for two different copy mut
